The craft

A real wood deck, built once, built right.

There's a warmth to a natural wood deck that no other material matches — the grain, the way it settles into a backyard, the way it ages with character. Our carpenters frame every deck to a higher standard than code requires, because a deck is only as good as the structure you never see.

From footings and beam spans to fascia and finishing, we build entirely in-house. No subcontractor hand-offs, no guesswork — just one crew accountable from the first cut to the final board.

  • Engineered framing with proper footings & ledger flashing
  • Hidden-fastener decking for a clean, splinter-free surface
  • Custom railings, stairs, built-in benches & planters
  • Sealed & finished, ready to enjoy the day we leave

Three woods, three personalities

The right species depends on your budget, your maintenance appetite and the look
you're after. Here's how we help homeowners decide.

THE NATURAL FAVOURITE

Western Red Cedar

Naturally rot- and insect-resistant with a rich, even grain. Stays cool underfoot and takes stain beautifully — the classic Canadian deck.

Lifespan15–20 yrs
UpkeepSeal 2–3 yrs

THE VALUE WORKHORSE

Pressure-Treated

The most cost-effective way to get a solid, code-built deck. Tough, readily available and easy to stain any colour you like as it weathers in.

UpkeepSeal 1–2 yrs
Cost$
THE LIFETIME UPGRADE

Ipe & Exotic Hardwood

Dense tropical hardwoods like Ipe and Mahogany — fire-rated, virtually indestructible and stunning. The deck you build once and pass down.

WHY ACORN

Carpenters, not crews of subs.

The right species depends on your budget, your maintenance appetite and the look
you're after. Here's how we help homeowners decide.

One accountable crew

The carpenter who quotes your deck is the one who builds it. No middlemen, no finger-pointing.

Structure first

We over-engineer the parts you never see, so your deck never bounces, sags or pulls away from the house.

Fixed, honest quotes

A clear scope and a fixed price up front. The number we quote is the number you pay.
